He Yan Ni along with “LOTYEF” troupe, having shot for almost two months in Mongolia, have now officially changed their battlefield to Hengdian. This grand epic series, a 150 million (rmb) production directed by Director Tsui Siu Ming, depicts the founding of the Yuan Dynasty and its unification of China. He Yan Ni portraying Yun Lin in the series will have a moving relationship with HK TVB actor, Steven Ma Chun Wai, who portrays Liu BingZhong. “This time the love relationship’s portion is comparatively heavier. Besides sticking with Hu Jung through thick and thin, in the series my relationship with Steven is also very moving.” Though He Yan Ni is involved in a multi-relationship she said she is very happy: “Because whether it is Hu Jun or Steven, I’ve watched many of their works. Like Steven’s TVB series, they are still fresh as new in my memory, so really looking forward to our collaboration.”

Earlier while filming Legend of the Yuan Empire Founder in Duo Lun in Inner Mongolia, its cast and crew were all greatly tested by the harsh weather conditions there. “The severe weather conditions often affected the filming progress, also, the outdoor riding scenes were all very challenging” but strong and competitive He Yan Ni jested: “But this extreme nature experiences only served to stimulate my feelings in thes series. Hopefully, the later part of the production goes more smoothly.” Though the filming condition was arduous but so far from the viewpoint of filming progress and outcome, the producers are all extremely satisfied. The cast all did an outstanding job; the confidence is high that this will be a grandeur epic work for the public to watch.
Allegedly, LOTYEF will stay in Hengdian to film for at least two and a half months before relocating back to Inner Mongolia in places such as Ordos for scenery background.
